Dividend Announced Stocks List: Record Dates and Ex-Dates This Week (Oct 13-16, 2026)

A dividend announced stocks list only helps if you know the dates attached to each payout. This week, October 13 to 16, 2026, shows why. TCS, Vedanta, Anand Rathi Wealth, Canara Robeco AMC and HCLTech all have interim dividend record dates packed into four trading days, and Tech Mahindra’s board meets on October 15 to look at an interim dividend and a bonus issue. Here’s the list, and after it, a simple way to track record dates and ex-dates yourself on the exchange websites.

Dividend announced stocks list for this week (Oct 13-16, 2026)

The table pulls together interim dividends that company boards have already declared, along with the record date each one set. The data is from company filings and the exchange corporate-action listing compiled by Upstox, and we’ve cross-checked it against the reports linked for each row.

Where each row comes from: TCS’s record and payment dates are from CNBC-TV18; Vedanta’s are from its October 8 exchange filing; Anand Rathi Wealth’s dividend is in its Q2 FY27 press release, with the record date and payment terms taken from the company’s exchange filing as reported by ET Now; Canara Robeco AMC’s come from CNBC-TV18; and HCLTech’s from The Economic Times and Upstox.

The story behind each payout

TCS. The ₹12 second interim dividend was declared on October 8, together with the September-quarter results. TCS has already paid ₹100 per share in dividends in calendar 2026, CNBC-TV18 reports: ₹11 interim plus ₹46 special in January, a ₹31 final dividend, and ₹12 interim in July. The new ₹12 isn’t part of that ₹100. It gets paid on October 30.

Vedanta. According to its filing, the board approved a first interim dividend for 2026-27 of ₹5 per share on October 8, a total payout of about ₹1,955 crore. The record date, Wednesday October 14, had been communicated to the exchanges in an earlier letter.

Anand Rathi Wealth. Along with its Q2 FY27 results on October 9, the wealth manager announced a ₹4 interim dividend per share of ₹5 face value.

Canara Robeco AMC. The fund house declared ₹2 per share of ₹10 face value, which works out to 20% of face value, as CNBC-TV18 notes. Quarterly net profit rose 21.5% year-on-year to ₹59.2 crore, and revenue climbed 18.6% to ₹128 crore.

HCLTech. The board announced the ₹12 interim dividend with results on October 12. The Economic Times reports consolidated net profit rose 21% year on year to ₹5,132 crore (from ₹4,235 crore), and revenue from operations came in at ₹35,620 crore, 12% higher year on year. If numbers like these feel dense, our guide to analysing quarterly results breaks them down.

Board meetings this week that could add names

Tech Mahindra’s board will consider a proposal for an interim dividend for 2026-27 and another to issue bonus shares when it meets on Thursday, October 15, 2026, the same day as its September-quarter results, CNBC-TV18 reported. The filing didn’t give the dividend size or the bonus ratio, so it’s only a proposal until the board outcome is filed. Our Tech Mahindra Q2 results date post has the details.

A dividend is not yours on the day it is announced. It is yours only if your shares are in your demat account by the record date, which means buying before the ex-date.

Record date and ex-date: the two dates that decide who gets paid

A dividend announcement comes with several dates. Only two of them decide whether a buyer actually gets the money.

• Record date. The company sets this date and looks at its shareholder records at the end of it. Whoever appears in the register of members or the depository records on that date gets the dividend. CNBC-TV18’s report on TCS uses exactly that wording for the October 14 record date.
• Ex-date. The first trading day when the share trades without the right to the coming dividend. Buy on or after the ex-date, and the dividend goes to the seller, as DSIJ’s explainer lays out.

How far apart the two dates sit depends on settlement time. NSE shifted all remaining equity securities to T+1 rolling settlement from January 27, 2023, as per its circular NSE/CMTR/54992. With T+1, shares you buy on one trading day land in your demat account on the next. Buy the day before the record date and you settle in time; buy on the record date and you don’t. That’s why this week’s exchange listing shows the ex-date and record date as the same day for every company. TCS and Vedanta go ex-dividend and hit their record date on October 14, Anand Rathi Wealth on October 15, and Canara Robeco AMC on October 16.

We dig further into this, including what happens around holidays, in dividend record date vs ex date.

Last day to buy for this week’s dividends

Apply the one-trading-day rule to the record dates above, assuming each is a normal trading day, and you get:

• TCS and Vedanta (record date Wednesday, October 14): buy by Tuesday, October 13 to qualify.
• Anand Rathi Wealth (record date Thursday, October 15): buy by Wednesday, October 14.
• Canara Robeco AMC and HCLTech (record date Friday, October 16): buy by Thursday, October 15. HCLTech announced after the weekly listing was put together, so check its ex-date on the NSE corporate-actions page before you trade.

Already holding the shares at the close of the last cum-dividend day? Then you can sell on the ex-date and still get the payout, since your holding was captured for the record date.

How to track a dividend announced stocks list yourself

Articles like this one get you started, but the official dates always live in the company’s filing and on the exchange. This routine takes a few minutes a week.

Step 1: Open the exchange corporate-actions page

NSE’s corporate actions list shows each company’s purpose (an interim dividend and its amount, say), the ex-date and the record date in separate columns. Set a date range and you can see everything going ex in the week ahead. BSE has a similar listing. Between them, that’s as close to an official dividend announced stocks list as you’ll get.

Step 2: Read the board meeting outcome

Dividends are declared at a board meeting, and the company then tells the exchanges in a filing. Vedanta’s letter, for instance, went in under Regulation 30 of the SEBI Listing Regulations and even mentions the time of approval (1:00 PM IST on October 8). The outcome gives you the amount per share, the face value, and usually the record and payment dates. If the record date was set earlier, as Vedanta’s was, go find the earlier intimation letter.

Step 3: Keep an eye on the board meeting calendar

Companies give advance notice when a board meeting will consider a dividend. Tech Mahindra’s notice for October 15 is one such case. Lots of interim dividends arrive with quarterly results, as four of the five on this week’s list did, so the weekly results calendar works as a dividend watchlist too. Our Stock Market Today India hub follows the results and market news behind these announcements.

Step 4: Write the dates down, then count back

For every stock on your radar, note the record date, then the ex-date the exchange shows, then the last trading day before that ex-date. The last one is your real deadline. Weekends and exchange holidays aren’t trading days, so if the ex-date is a Monday, your last day to buy is the Friday before.

Step 5: Check the payment date

Payment dates differ. TCS has set October 30 and HCLTech October 26. Anand Rathi Wealth’s filing, as reported by ET Now, and Canara Robeco AMC’s announcement, as reported by CNBC-TV18, both say payment will happen within 30 days of declaration. The cash lands in your registered bank account, so make sure your broker or depository participant has the right details.

On the ex-date the share price usually adjusts down by roughly the dividend amount, so buying a stock only to catch a small payout rarely leaves you better off.

What the ex-date does to the share price

On the ex-date, the cash moves off the company’s balance sheet and into shareholders’ hands, so the share’s reference price gets adjusted. DSIJ uses a simple illustration: a share closing at ₹200 before going ex for an ₹8 dividend might have an adjusted reference near ₹192. On the actual day, the market price can move more or less than that, since news and the broader market still play their part.

What this means in practice: a dividend is part of your return, not free money on top. A round-number example makes it obvious. You buy 100 shares of a ₹1,000 stock the day before it goes ex for a ₹10 dividend. You collect ₹1,000 in dividends, but if the price adjusts to about ₹990 on the ex-date, your holding is worth about ₹1,000 less. Before tax and brokerage, your wealth is roughly where it started. After those costs, the trade looks worse, not better.

How to read a dividend announcement

Indian companies like to quote dividends as a percentage of face value, which can make a modest payout sound big. Canara Robeco AMC’s ₹2 on a ₹10 face value is 20%. Anand Rathi Wealth’s ₹4 on a ₹5 face value is 80%. HCLTech’s ₹12 on a ₹2 face value comes to 600%. None of those numbers tell you the return on what you’d actually pay for the share, because shares trade far above face value.

The better yardstick is the share price. CNBC-TV18 reported that Canara Robeco AMC closed at ₹220.75 on the BSE on October 9, for example. Against that close, the ₹2 interim dividend is about 0.9%. Keep in mind that’s one interim payout, not a full year’s dividend yield.

The payout history and the earnings behind it matter too. A company paying regular interim dividends out of rising profits, which is what the latest HCLTech and TCS results show, is a different animal from one paying out more than it earns. The quarterly results are where you check.

What this week’s list means for investors

Results season tends to bunch interim dividends together, and this week shows just how tight the windows get: two record dates on October 14, one on October 15 and two on October 16. If you already own these shares, all you need to do is make sure your bank details are correct. If you’re thinking of buying for the dividend, check the ex-date on the exchange, buy before it only if you want the stock anyway, and don’t forget the price adjustment on the ex-date.

For long-term investors, we’d treat a dividend announced stocks list as a nudge to look at the company’s results and payout record, not as a trading signal. Next up is Tech Mahindra’s October 15 meeting, where both the dividend amount and the bonus ratio are still to be decided.
